They're massively more convenient. Dry herb vaporizers require me to reload the device every few hits and carry a supply of dry ground cannabis with me everywhere I go. The wet capsules last for hundreds of hits, and produce less scent both when in use and when inactive.
I've also found good capsule vaporizers to be more reliable than any of the four dry vaporizers I've purchased. But I have personally stopped buying black market vapes after I lost my supplier and the next few I was able to purchase immediately destroyed my lungs... :/
- dev_dull 7y agoBut — after reading the article - do you believe the benefits outweigh the risks?
- bdamm 7y agoYes. This is resolvable via packaging, regulation & enforcement changes. We have these same issues in pet food, baby formula, and ammunition.
- austinheap 7y agoBlack market flower can also be unsafe if treated with the same chemicals. The risk with oils is that they bio-accumulate toxins during the extraction process, meaning the toxic PPM radically climbs as the non-cannabinoid organic material is blasted away by the CO2. The issue with both flower & oil is that black market producers cannot afford to lose a crop, so if it gets mold or pests then unscrupulous manufacturers will do whatever they have to do to salvage the season.
- SnarkAsh 7y agoCurrently, no, because I don't have any legal options where I am currently living, and my own experience and stories like this have pushed me away from black market products. But I believe that these are a much better product, when manufactured by accountable, regulated, legal companies. I hope we'll have more safe products available going forward, instead of a ban that helps sustain unsafe black market products.
